The verification of taxonomic identities is of the highest significance in the field of biological study and categorization. Morpho-molecular characterization can clarify uncertainties in distinguishing between taxonomic groups. In this study, we characterized five local taxa of the genus Cichorium using morphological and molecular markers for taxonomic authentication and probably future genetic improvement. The five Cichorium taxa grown under the Mediterranean climate using morphological traits and molecular markers showed variations. The examined taxa showed a widespread range of variations in leaf characteristics, i.e., shape, type, texture, margin, and apex and cypsela characteristics i.e., shape, color, and surface pattern. The phylogenetic tree categorized the Cichorium intybus var. intybus and C. intybus var. foliosum in a single group, whereas C. endivia var. endivia was grouped separately. However, C. endivia var. crispum and C. endivia subsp. pumilum were classified as a cluster. The recorded variance between classes using the molecular markers SCoT, ISSR, and RAPD was documented at 34.43%, 36.62%, and 40.34%, respectively. Authentication using molecular tools proved the usefulness of a dichotomous indented key, as revealed by morphological identification. The integrated methodology using morphological and molecular assessment could support improved verification and authentication of the various taxa of chicory. It seems likely that the Egyptian chicory belongs to C. endivia subsp. pumilum.

Abstract:This review gives an overview of agricultural topics on a non-model species, in other words, leaf chicory. Often classified as a minor crop, "Radicchio", the Italian name of leaf chicory, is assuming a very important role at both a local and national level, as it characterizes a high proportion of the agricultural income of suited areas. Botanical classification along the genus Cichorium is reported and a detailed description of the most important cultivated biotypes typical of northern Italy is presented. A special consideration is reserved to breeding aspects, from molecular marker-assisted selection to the implementation of the first genome draft and leaf transcriptomes. Sexual barriers, for example, self-incompatibility or male-sterility, are described in great detail with the aim to be utilized for breeding purposes. The main aspects of seed production are also critically presented. In conclusion, the present work is a sort of handbook to better understand this orphan crop and it is mainly directed to breeders and seed producers dealing with leaf chicory.

“…4). However, it must be noted, that chicory is rarely breeding crop (Baert and van Bockstaele, 1992) and the selection of varieties for improving the HI is a challenge to optimalize the production performance (van Stallen et al, 2005).…”

“…Our results showed that application of BAS (and mainly of Atonik) in all the varieties and experimental years significantly increased the growthproduction performance of chicory and yield and quality of root. The second way of optimization the production of chicory is targeted breeding of varieties with high production potential and theirs ecological plasticity (Spranger et al, 1997;van Stallen et al, 2005 …”

In this study were evaluated both the growth and yield potentials of three chicory (Cichorium intybus var. sativum) varieties ('Fredonia Nova', 'Oesia' a 'Maurane') growing in natural agro-ecological conditions from 2006 to 2008. Regulation of the crop productivity by foliar application of biologically active substances (Atonik, Polybor 150, and Biafit Gold) was also studied. Evaluation of growth-production performance of chicory was realized as: leaf area index (LAI), photosynthetic potential (LAD), net assimilation rate (NAR), crop rate growth (CGR), relative growth rate (RGR), harvest index (HI), root yield and inulin content in root. During threeyears of experimental seasons, the highest average yield of chicory roots was observed in variety 'Fredonia Nova' (value 2.08 kg m -2 ), with average LAI reached on value 1.88 and average NAR on value 2.15 g m -2 d -1 . The highest average HI was observed in variety 'Oesia' (64.0 %) and the lowest in variety 'Maurane' (57.3 %). The highest average inulin root content reached variety 'Fredonia Nova' up to value 205.9 mg g -1 dry weight. In this study we discussed in detail observed interaction between individual growth-production characteristics. Finally we observed that application of biologically active substances (BAS) is an important tool for optimalization of growthproduction potential in chicory plant. Our results showed that application of BAS (and mainly of Atonik) in all the varieties and experimental years significantly increased the growth-production performance and modified source -sink relationships. DETAILED ABSTRACTV súčasnom období zaznamenávame neustále narastajúci dopyt po funkčných potravinách s vysokým obsahom dieteticky významných látok. To dostáva do popredia otázky pestovania netradičných alebo menej bežných plodín v okrajových produkčných zónach. Jednou z takýchto plodín je koreňová forma čakanky obyčajnej (Cichorium intybus var. sativum), ktorá je bohatým zdrojom inulínu. Celosvetovo je rozširovanie pestovateľských plôch s čakankou dané zvýšenými požiadavkami potravinárskeho priemyslu po inulíne. V našej práci hodnotíme rastový a úrodový potenciál troch odrôd čakanky obyčajnej ('Fredonia Nova', 'Oesia' a 'Maurane'), pestovaných v prirodzených agroekologických podmienkach na Experimentálnej báze Nitra -Dolná Malanta v rokoch 2006 až 2008. Neoddeliteľnou súčasťou našej štúdie bola analýza možnosti regulácie rastovo-produkčného procesu čakanky foliárne aplikovanými biologicky aktívnymi látkami (Atonik, Polybor 150, Biafit Gold). Počas vegetačného obdobia boli analyzované parametre ako: index listovej pokryvnosti (LAI), fotosyntetický potenciál (LAD), pomerná olistenosť (LAR), čistý výkon fotosyntézy (NAR), rýchlosť rastu porastu (CGR), relatívna rýchlosť rastu (RGR), úroda koreňa, zberový index (HI) a obsah inulínu v sušine koreňa. Rastovoprodukčná analýza ukázala odrodové diferencie v tvorbe fotosyntetických, aj hospodársky cenných orgánov čakanky. Počas sledovaného trojročného obdobia, najvyššiu priemernú úrodu koreňov dosiahla odroda ...
